Chapter 16 - Chapter 16- A story from 500 years ago

After Damien saw all these in the trance Elora/Diana put him under, there was no whereabout of her anymore, she suddenly disappeared into thin air, but he knew she will still come, but a single paper note that was in his hand when he woke up, he quickly brought it out of his pockets, "Brian I have to show you something", Damien said as he brought out the piece of paper from his back pocket and Brian read it,

'Meet me in the library at midnight prompt, if you need answers'

"What could this possibly mean?" Brian was stunned by the letter. "I don't know, but do you think we should go?" Damien asked," We can take the risk, I guess." Brian answered with a smile. They waited till midnight, it literally took forever, as they got set and ready for a journey they knew not a dime about, when they got to the library, Damien took in a deep and release as he opened the door slightly and they sneaked in, "hello", they both called out simultaneously, "over here Damien" a voice from afar said but it wasn't familiar at all, "they kept on walking slowly in the dark, until the lights turned on immediately, "hey" a girl said, as Damien and Brian walked slowly to the voice, "wait, I've seen you before", Damien said staring at the girl, "it seems you still remember your visions really clear", the girl said, "well I'm Karen Thomas, my ancestor is the writer of the first prophecy in that book", she said staring at the two of them, "I've been watching you right from the first day I saw you, I knew you were the chosen one my ancestor talked about" she explained, "really!" Damien said, "so what and who does this all connect to now?", Brian asked, "my ancestor warned us all in his prophecy and we have to read it now before it's too late" she hurriedly said as Brian brought out the book from his bag and placed it on the table as they opened the first page of the book, 'this is it" Damien said, as she started reading the prophecy aloud;

 The world where we live in is nothing more than a cursed place, a city one day will be filled with chaos on a night nobody expects, the sky will be filled with thunder storm, lighting and death of the people, just an act of greed made a man to unleash a great demon that was locked in a coffin, which caused a city destruction, as I write the first prophecy with thy own blood, be prepared cause this prophecy will be fulfilled 500 years later.

 "So, this means, someone released this demon from its coffin out of greed", Brian said, "this means, on the day of the chaos, when I was born on that day, Elizabeth quin was also born, could there be a connection to that or just mere coincidence", Damien said, "according to all the stories my dad told me, he drove my mom out of Eri-doria just to give birth to me", Damien remembered, "wait, if you say you were born at the outskirts of Eri-doria, it means he has something to do with unlocking the coffin and didn't want to bring you back here, because he knew the consequences", Karen said, "wow, and if that's true then Principal K was right, my dad has more secrets to tell", Damien said with a low voice, "we have to get to the bottom of this before it's too late", "Brian said, "Thanks for helping me Karen, but why did you decide to help me?", Damien curiosity piqued and asked, "before my grandfather died, he told me stories, stories that was never told to the local", Karen mind began to reel back to her little age, "what stories, do you mind sharing", Damien said. "My granddad told me a story on his sick bed, it was the last I heard from him before he passed away, and it went like this, a very long time ago before the prophecy was ever made, there was this woman, who lived in the outskirts of town, she lived alone after her husband left her for another woman but still brought her home, she couldn't report to anyone, he always abused her and beat her, so one day she said she will repay him with his sins, she brought a man into the house and slept with him, but when her husband heard of it, he became so angry and beat her nearly to death, that was when she realized , she needed to do more than that, she began to worship the devil very single day and she just recently gave birth, as time went on other witches from different city came to her, she became the mother witch, queen of all witches and mother of hell, she summoned a demon from hell to kill her husband, torture him and make him miserable, but rather it all backfired and possessed her son, he was so possessed, he terrorized the whole town, killed people for fun, she being the first witch, she wrote a prophecy on a scroll, but locked it somewhere no one will ever find it, some say she vanished away with it, my ancestor who was a witch locked her son soul in a coffin, he was next to her, but till date the first prophecy written by her was never found"

Karen explained the whole story to them, "this is really wild", Damien said, he was really stunned, "that means, the first prophecy here by your own ancestor is not the ever first written prophecy, that means there's one out there that could give us a final message", Brian said thoughtfully, "yeah that's correct" Karen said. "We have to find that prophecy!", Damien concluded.
